Ranked: 10 best new Premier League kits for 2019/20 season

From Manchester City to Leicester City, we pick our favourites from a super new batch ahead of the big kick-off

• 

  10th: Norwich City away - Wow! Were kit-makers errea drinking mocktails while coming up with designs for the new strip? This is loud and jazzy and complements Norwich’s yellow and green home kit nicely – and that’s high praise from an Ipswich Town fan. Credit: Norwich City FC

• 

  9th: Manchester United away - An up-close look shows a snake-skin pattern and it’s the subtle touch that makes this such a great new shirt. The colour is a rare one, not quite gold, not quite sand, while it is one of the first United kits that allows the Chevrolet sponsor to blend rather than be so obtrusive. Credit: Adidas

• 

  8th: Crystal Palace away - Puma are doing great things this year – and not just at Manchester City. The dual-colour shoulder patches add an extra infusion, while the wavy pattern on the front really funks it up. Nice job. Credit: Crystal Palace FC

• 

  7th: Manchester City third kit - The most adventurous of all of the new kits this season as Puma made an immediate statement after taking over City’s kits from Nike. Like an ice lolly, this one should be a favourite while the sun is still shining. Credit: Manchester City FC

• 

  6th: Arsenal away - As if a stonking new home strip wasn’t enough, Adidas have done it with the away kit too. The bruised banana was legendary in the early 90s, and while this time around the bruising is less severe, it’s certainly a sweet creation. Reuters

• 

  5th: West Ham United - It’s retro all the way from Umbro, who were kingpins of kit design in the 1990s. The smart two-tone colouring with some upper torso stripes will go down a storm with a pair of jeans. Expect to see this shirt all over East London. Getty Images

  4th: Chelsea away - Is the little collar gimmicky, or does it add style? I’m going for the latter as it passes it off as a multi-purpose polo shirt which you could probably get away with down the golf club. The red, blue and white mix beautifully together. Credit: Chelsea FC

• 

  3rd: Manchester City away - Inspired by the Hacienda nightclub in the city, fans were surely jumping around with joy on first sight of this. The black gives it a serious edge, while the chevron pattern will take older fans back to a time when music and football were all that mattered. Credit: Manchester City FC

• 

  2nd: Leicester away - As if Adidas have brought back the classic design of their Germany 1990 World Cup kit – and put it in pink for Leicester City. It’s wonderful in every respect, from the shade of pink to the sight of those three stripes on the shoulders. It's pretty and it's powerful, and that takes some doing. Credit: Leicester City FC

• 

  1st: Arsenal home - It’s like 1990 all over again and for Arsenal fans a time when they had a side that was seriously good. This kit is smart, it’s retro with the V-neck collar, and it’s possibly Adidas’s finest creation in years. Credit: Arsenal FC

Is there a better moment during the football season than that opening day when you put on your team's new kit for the first time and head off to the stadium?

Well, there is probably is, like winning trophies and beating your rivals, but it's a great occasion nonetheless.

The unveiling of the new kit is, I would say, as exciting as the unveiling of a new signing, and these days we get to experience all of the leaked images in the run up, just like with the leaked transfer information.

There's going to be some crackers on display this season as the likes of Puma, who have taken over the manufacturing of Manchester City's kits from Nike, really looked to make a statement with their designs.

There's plenty of retro offerings, there's bright colours and fun, and above all else there should be no shortage of pride when fans and players pull on these shirts as the Premier League season starts this weekend.
